Kourtney Kardashian

In 2005, Kardashian was cast on E!'s Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive, a reality show in which the children of famous celebrities lived together while "roughing it" in a small town in Colorado. The show was created by actor/producer Justin Berfield and Joe Simpson. It was on that series that E! became aware of Kardashian and her family.

In 2007, she began appearing in E!'s Keeping Up with the Kardashians, a reality show centering on the life of Kardashian and her family. Although the show was originally packaged as a showcase for her sister Kim, Kourtney Kardashian has become a significant presence on her own. She is known as "The Unassuming Firecracker" for her quiet but spontaneous personality.

Kardashian appeared with her family on NBC's Celebrity Family Feud on July 22, 2008. The Kardashians lost to "Team Deion" which included Deion Sanders and his family by a score of 382-83.

In April 2009, it was announced that Kourtney Kardashian and her sister Khloe Kardashian would be appearing in a spin-off which will air in August 2009. The spin-off will feature the girls moving to Miami to open a DASH store on the East Coast. The show has a working title of Kourtney and Khloe in Miami but no official title has been confirmed as of yet. The spin-off will not feature sister Kim prominently, but the entire Kardashian family may make guest appearances on the new series.
